And you all know what I'm talkin' about.

Why do the rabid anti-Americans in the great white north shoot their yaps off? And by the by, freedom of speech and association are in the charter. Sounds like he's defending the charter, unlike other, more "liberal", commisions.

I could explain the hierarchy of who's rights trumps who's, but I only have a free hour!

I can't take credit for this synopsis, but this is an abreviation of every Obama speech: "America is the greatest country in the world. Help me change it." I accept that I don't know if it is true, but surely standing strong against the crazies with nukes is a more sure way of maintaining security than abject surrender. "Never again" has no codicil "...unless it is tricky to prevent."

Check your history- capitalism has increased the world's wealth by so much that now we can only judge the level of affluence we are attaining. I sympathise with your health problems, but they would be untreatable without the profit motive to encourage big-Pharma, part of the dreaded Wall Street, to develop treatments. Let's face it, if government was involved in drug development, we'd all have two heads.

Some parts of Canada may be unrepresented if one or the other party gets a majority? Tough, welcome to Alberta's place at the table.

"Treat someone with power who doesn't recognize basic freedoms with the respect they feel they deserve and they will inevitably come round"? Really? In what universe did that actually work? I guess the difference between you and the "zealots" is we don't just believe in the PRINCIPLE of free speech. Speaking for myself alone, I believe in free speech. And I for one won't apologise for the outraged tone. I'm not sure what crowd you roll with Jack, but I don't hear a lot of people, outside of the "rights industry", demanding more restrictions on their basic rights and freedoms.
